1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Hypertension is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, a leading cause of death for older adults. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may increase the likelihood of developing hypertension; however, little is known about this association in older adult male and female veterans. To better understand the ways in which aging and biological sex impact the link between PTSD and hypertension, the present study used data from two cohorts of older adult Vietnam Era veterans (women: N = 4,104, M
